“Mr. Cosby does not intend to dignify these allegations with any comment,” the funnyman’s lawyer, John P. Schmitt said in a statement. “The fact that they are being repeated does not make them true. There will be no further statement from Mr. Cosby or any of his representatives.”

The response comes just one day after Cosby was awkwardly interviewed by NPR host Scott Simon who asked the sitcom star in front of his wife to open up about longtime claims that he sexually assaulted several women in the past.

“Over the last several weeks, decade-old, discredited allegations against Mr. Cosby have resurfaced,” Schmitt said. “He would like to thank all his fans for the outpouring of support and assure them that, at age 77, he is doing his best work.”

Sexual assault allegations have circled around Cosby since the mid 2000s, when a woman named Andrea Constand filed a 2005 lawsuit accusing him of rape.

The suit also included the testimonies of 13 others who were also allegedly raped by the star.

Many have wondered how Cosby could have gotten away for so many years without getting charged with a crime or being blasted in the media, but one of his accusers feels he’s had help from timid news outlets who for years have been too scared to nail the beloved “Cosby Show” dad.

“I wish there were more gutsy journalists to take this on,” alleged victim Barbara Bowman told CNN’s Brian Stelter on Sunday. “I think that journalists do think that they have an obligation to take caution…but I also think there is maybe too much caution.”

@ the top of @CNNReliable: one of Cosby's accusers, Barbara Bowman, tells me why she thinks the media has shied away from her story til now.
